Show that 2tan(th) / (1+tan^2(th)) = sin(2th), where th = theta

We have 2tan(th) / (1 + tan^2(th)) = sin(2th)

We know that tan(A) = sin(A) / cos(A), and 1 + tan^2(A) = sec^2(A)

Therefore => (2sin(th) / cos(th)) / sec^2(th)

=> 2sin(th)*cos^2(...

Use logarithms to solve the equation 3^(2x+1) = 4^100

We have 3^(2x+1) = 4^100

=> log(3^(2x+1)) = log(4^100)

=> (2x+1)log(3) = 100log(4)

Use the binomial series to find the expansion of 1/(2+5x)^3 in ascending powers of x up to x^3 (|x|<2/5)

We want to rearrange the expression to the form (1+y)^n so we can use the general result: (1+y)^n=1+ny+[n(n-1)/2]y^2+[n(n-1)(n-2)/3!]y^3+... 1/(2+5x)^3 = (2+5x)^-3 = [2(1+5x/2)]^-3 = (2^-3)(1+5x/2)^-3 usi...

Find the gradient of the curve (x^3)-4(y^2)=12xy at the point P(-8,8)

First of all differentiate the equation of the curve implicitly, giving:

3x2-8y(dy/dx)=12y+12x(dy/dx)

=> (dy/dx)(12x+8y)=3x2-12y

=> dy/dx=(3x2-1...
